Calgary-Based Home Builder Begins 2015 With Celebration of Accomplishments

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - March 24, 2015) - Calgary's luxury home builder ALBI Homes (ALBI) is proud to announce it is the recipient of three prestigious industry and business awards celebrating the company's performance in 2014. Earlier this month, ALBI received the following:

Canadian Home Builder's Association's (CHBA) 2014 National Grand SAM Builder of Excellence, recognizing a high level of excellence in home building and marketing;

Canada's Best Managed Companies, recognizing excellence in business performance and leadership.

"It is truly an honour to be receiving all three awards and to be recognised alongside Canada's top home builders and business leaders," says Allan Klassen, President and Managing Partner of ALBI Homes Ltd. "Customers have been choosing ALBI for our strong work ethic, customer service, and industry-leading quality standards for years. We are humbled to be chosen for those qualities by our industry as well."

The recent awards follow closely behind ALBI receiving the Avid Ratings Canada 2014 Single Family Home Quality Award and the 2014 CHBA-Alberta Ralph Scurfield Builder of the Year Award last September. ALBI's consistent industry and customer recognition speak to a pattern of overall excellence executed at all levels of the company's operations.

"From our corporate culture and governance to the craftsmanship and care we put into every home, every decision we make drives our goal of being the most respected brand in luxury homes in the nation," added Klassen. "These awards prove we are certainly headed in that direction."

This is ALBI's second year being recognised as the CHBA National Grand SAM Builder of Excellence - the home-builder received the Grand SAM in 2012 and was a finalist for the award in 2013. ALBI was also recognized as a Top 50 Small and Medium Employer in 2013.
